I Survived Thanksgiving!

This past Thursday was my first Thanksgiving gluten-free. Man did it feel good to know that I wasn't going to feel sick and in excrusiating pain after I ate this amazing meal.

Before you are diagnosed with celiac or whatever your food intolerance etc. you start to not enjoy eating anymore because everything your eating is causing you dabilitating pain. You don't know what is causing that pain though. I alwaus love good.old.family.time surrounded by food because we are Italian. We Italians LOVE to eat!

So. My mom (thanks mom) made this a.m.a.z.i.n.g Gluten-Free stuffing, my absolute favorite Thanksgiving food with Udi's bread!
I also had gluten-free turkey without gravy just because we didn't have time to make a second-gravy! I also had mashed potatoes and that was just dinner. The 'finger-foods' were my aunts amazing Taco-Dip as well as crab-dip and everything else that I can't recall.

I just thought I'd give you guys a little update on my first gluten-free holiday. I can't believe how close Christmas is getting. It's already December 1st. This will also be my first gluten-free Christmas (obviously) so if anyone has any good tips,advice or great holiday cookie,cake,pie,dinner etc. recipes please comment below and let me know!
